How did you get through it? It was tough for me for a whole month as both my daughters were critical. On 12/26/06 my young daughters were in a house fire. The grandfather died and my girls sustained 3rd degree burns (the 9 yrs old on both her arms). Now, we must always be aware that as she gets older, how to properly address the issues she will have (especially from other people's reactions).

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry for you and them. My only trauma was when my father committed suicide when I was 15. I'm not so sure if my advice could relate but if you believe in God, that helps, or maybe some kind of family counseling? Just remember that kids learn to handle their own unique sets of circumstances and their roads in life won't be the same as yours and there isn't much you can do unfortunately to shield them from all that's coming. I truly wish you guys all the best.

Oh my god that's so awful. I'm so sorry.
I fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. I joined the military to help people. I ended up killing people. The worst years of my life. I will never forget what I saw and have gone through and never forgive myself for what I have done. The years since I have come home and left the military have been harder and harder. I have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and am seeing a therapist.
I'm lucky enough to have a very lovely woman who loves me very much and has stood beside me through some terrible times. I love her more every day and she makes it worth the struggle to carry on and try to rebuild my life.
I wish you and your little girls a healthy happy long life together.

I have not. When Carissa was born she had to be transferred to another hospital for wet lungs and jaundice. That was traumatic at the time, but looking back it wasn't serious or life-threatening. When Cali was baking in mommy! the doctors thought she had a hole in her heart. That was hard to handle, but she was born perfectly healthy. So we've come close and had to deal with a few issues, but nothing ever materialized. Thank the Lord.

Sounds like your situation is quite serious. I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband first got cancer over 20 years ago and had a brain surgery with radiation after and now has been battling cancer again these last almost three years. It's still going on - stressful. Your life stops and you can't make plans. Our church has been such a major blessing and support to us!! I don't know how people do it without God or the church family.

Oh sweet heart I am so extremely sorry, give your girls a big hug and kiss for me. And yes I also had a life changing trauma, when I was 5 months pregnant with my daughter, my brother committed suicide in my baby nursery, it still hurts, and it was 17 years ago, I just took it one day at a time.

Yup, when I was a young teen, I got really depressed and suicidal. There were times when I came close to slashing my wrists. I don't know what exactly happened to make me come out of that depression, but now I see how different my life is that I'm happier and just take each day as it comes. I always remember the phrase "This too shall pass."
I don't know if any of this helps but good luck.

I lost my father a year and half ago, and I is going to take long for me to heal, I miss him everyday, but the fact that their lost their grandfather in this fire is real sad, and most of all the burns they got because of this tragedy, the first thing that I think you have to focus on is for them to feel comfortable with themselves, even thou they may feel different than others, teach them that life itself is more important than the way they look, and if they feel good inside and with themselves, other people should be irrelevant, cause I'm pretty sure after this they always going to smile and overcome anything in life. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU, GOD BLESS YOU.

Yes I have. I dealt with it in all the wrong ways and took the easy way out with drugs. All I did was prolong the pain and made it more difficult to deal with once I got straight.
Never let what you have lost make you lose sight of the good things that you still have.

Yes, actually. Someone told me my freind was gay and I don't know if it is true, but everybody else started making fun of me because i was her bestest freind ever and now it is kind of weird at school. Everybody thinks i'm gay too because i've always been freinds with her.
how I get through it is ignoring what people say. Get through life one day at a time.

Yep...
Church turning against my family (when I was 15)
A foster boy we let in to our house... who was the same age as me.... (me ... sheltered girl... until then)
It took a while to get through it, it was harder since my Spiritual life was up the creek from the sense of betrayl I felt from church, the wounds healed from the foster boy --- had some post traumatic stress disorder... God eventually healed me from all that.... God was the only way I overcame in either situation...
